Glen Echo Park

A Note From the Partnership Dear Friends, Welcome to our Spring-Summer 2022 Classes & Events catalog! We have resumed our pre-pandemic model of publishing two catalogs per year, so this covers March through August 2022. Our catalogs will remain digital-only, which means interactive, more efficient, and easy to register for classes.

We are thrilled to offer some creative new adult arts classes, including Photography: History, Technology, Aesthetics (1830-2022) with Photoworks; Puppetry: Game Night for Adults, and Puppetry for the Camera with the Puppet Co., and a new series of small group Art Clinics and new Printmaking Workshops with Stone Tower Studio.

Enchanting productions from our two award-winning children’s theaters – Adventure Theatre MTC, and the Puppet.

Co. – continue in person through the spring and summer, and we welcome the return of Tiny Tots performances at the Puppet Co. for our very youngest audience!

Of course, we can’t talk about Spring-Summer at Glen Echo Park without saying a few words about camps! And if we do say so ourselves, our camps are the perfect way to encourage your budding artist. From Spring Break Camp to Summer Camp programs, there’s something for your aspiring artist or performer.

Spring Break camps are offered from April 11-15 and feature a selection of half-day and full-day camps, such as Spring Break Adventures in Glass; Teen Silversmithing; You Write Rumple: Puppetry Spring Break Camp, and several others (page 7). Summer brings a broad array of camps to the park, in visual arts, performing arts, and nature & aquatic life, from June 20 through August 26. This year will feature some of our favorite camps, as well as some exciting new ones. Your camper may be interested in Adventure Theatre’s two week Summer Musical Theater camp, Glen Echo Park Aquarium’s Sensational Sharks camp; Washington Conservatory of Music’s Intro to Rock Guitar camp; Photoworks’ The Basics of Film Photography for Teens camp – and so much more. We offer an after-camp program, too. We will, of course, adhere to all health and safety protocols to ensure a fun and safe summer! (page 3) As the Glen Echo Park Partnership celebrates our 20th anniversary of bringing creative and diverse arts and cultural programs to our community and beyond, we hope you will join us for our terrific line-up of Spring and Summer events.

These include: Carousel Day (April 30), the 40th annual Washington Folk Festival (June 4&5), the Gala in the Park (May 14), Outdoor Art Marketplace, Summer Concerts, and more!

You can still watch our virtual programming, including online exhibitions, virtual concerts, video-based activities for kids, online activities from our children’s theaters, and more on our YouTube channel. And you can always find out what’s happening on our Stay Connected webpage.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the financial support of the community in order to present high-quality, affordable programs. We hope you will join us in supporting the Park with a one-time or monthly donation.

We invite you to create, collaborate, and connect with Glen Echo Park this season!

Stay well and creative,

Katey Boerner, Executive Director

Glen Echo Park

Glen Echo Park Glen Echo Park is one of the finest cultural resources in Montgomery County. It is home to 14 resident artists and organizations, a thriving social dance program, a restored 1921 Dentzel Carousel, numerous art studios and galleries, and hundreds of classes in visual and performing arts, including ceramics, painting, photography, glass, music, dance, and more.

These activities, as well as free summer concerts, festivals, and special events, bring thousands of visitors to the Park each year.

current arts program. In 2002, the National Park Service transferred management of the Park’s arts and cultural programs, as well as its historic buildings, to Montgomery County, which in turn created the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture, a nonprofit organization, to oversee the Park.

From 2003 to 2010, extensive renovations of the Park’s facilities took place under the direction of Montgomery County and the National Park Service with input from the Partnership and resident organizations. These renovations were funded with major federal, state, and county resources as well as private donations. Renovations included the Spanish Ballroom, the Dentzel Carousel, the Puppet Co. Playhouse, the Arcade building, the Yellow Barn, Adventure Theatre, the Candy Corner, the Chautauqua Tower, the Ballroom Back Room, and the Caretaker’s Cottage. The Hall of Mirrors Dance Studio was renovated in 2014.

The site was first developed in the 1890s as a Chautauqua retreat but soon became the premier Washington area amusement park, serving the community until 1968. In 1971, after the amusement park closed, the federal government acquired the land in order to preserve the Potomac Palisades and prevent development along the river. The management of the Park was assigned to the National Park Service, which established the core of the

The Young Creative Spirit is the Children’s Art Center residency at Glen Echo Park. Coordinated by artists/ instructors Katherine T. Andrle and Denise Dittmar, the center’s goal is to serve the community by providing art instruction to children and to broaden their appreciation of the world by giving them an outlet for creative expression. Every child has both a tremendous visual awareness of the world outside and a wonderfully imaginative inner eye. The program encourages children to trust in their own interpretations and uses a wide variety of media to expand their experience. Small classes, taught either online or in the Crystal Pool Studio, serve ages 6 through 12, and focus on the individual. Early registration is strongly encouraged. Instructors and students are required to wear masks indoors at the Crystal Pool Studio.

LOCATION

FANTASTAGIRL AND THE MATH MONSTER

Adventure Theatre MTC is located at the far end of the Arcade Building.

June 17, 2022 – August 21, 2022

Fantastagirl, a second-grade superhero who uses words to save the day, comes face to face with her worst nightmare: the Math Monster! When confronted with problems too big for words alone to solve, Fantastagirl must accept help from her friendly, furry, fraction-loving foe. While Fantastagirl and Math Monster use words and numbers to help her friends and scientist moms, something far more sinister than Math brews on the horizon.

PERFORMANCES MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS February 18, 2022 – March 27, 2022

Mr. and Mrs. Mallard are exhausted from their search for a starter home when they land in the Boston Public Garden as a potential home. Surprised by a few conditions in the Garden, the Mallards move on to continue their search until their baby ducklings are born. When the ducklings begin to explore the world around them. The challenges of parenthood in the busy Boston environment create a fun bit of family drama. A classic story for all ages, this world premiere musical celebrates family, Boston, children, and the beings who make an unfamiliar place a home.

GLASSBLOWING

Glassworks at Glen Echo Park is the DC area’s first glassblowing school. Classes are taught year-round for novice and advanced students. When classes are not in session, the studio is open for visitors to observe glassblowing and view the work of resident artist Paul Swartwood and the other Glassworks instructors.

Meet our Glassworks Team With almost 50 years of combined glassworking experience, our Glassworks teachers have personally guided thousands of people through the exciting process of blowing glass.

Our focus is to give each student an in-depth experience of what it’s like to work with molten glass. We work in small groups to step you through the entire process of gathering, shaping, and blowing glass in our 2000° furnaces.

Paul Swartwood, Resident Artist/Director Paul was first introduced to blown glass in 2000 at Salisbury University, where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2002. After working as a team leader at Simon Pearce Glass in West Chester, PA, Paul moved back to Maryland and discovered his love for teaching all levels of Glassblowing to whomever may want to learn. Paul has taught and demonstrated in many studios over the last 20 years, but Glen Echo Park will always be his home base.

GLASSWORKS

Philip Valencia, Glassworks Faculty With a fantastic enthusiasm for teaching, Phil draws in students with his immediate energy. Teaching all levels of students, he masterfully guides everyone through the many steps needed to experience the material. When he’s not teaching, you can see Phil at a wide variety of venues, demonstrating and entertaining the crowd with his passion for glass.

Ian has an amazing gift for teaching the complexities of glassblowing to all levels of students. With a calm attitude and huge breadth of knowledge on the subject, there’s almost nothing he can’t teach you about hot glass.

Glen Echo Park Carousel 100th Anniversary

Spanish Ballroom, Bumper Car Pavilion, and Ballroom Back Room

One of the greater Washington, DC area’s true treasures, the historic Glen Echo Park Dentzel carousel is the Park’s crowning jewel from the amusement park era.

Installed at Glen Echo Park in 1921 by the Dentzel Carousel Company of Germantown, PA, the carousel has 52 animals, including horses, rabbits, ostriches, a lion, a tiger, a deer and a giraffe.

Music for the carousel is provided by the 1926 Wurlitzer band organ. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it remains a classic example of hand wood carving popular in the early 20th century, and is one of the few remaining Dentzel carousels in its original location.

www.glenechopark.org/dances We are pleased to announce that social dances have returned in person at the Park! While not all dance styles are running again, you can visit the Dances page on our website (https://glenechopark.org/dances) to learn about upcoming swing, waltz, tango, and other dances.

All dance events are conducted by presenting entities who are renting the facility, and Covid-19 precautions are in place. Information about these events and presenters’ mask and vaccination policies can be found on their websites; each dance listing in our online calendar (https://glenechopark.org/dances) includes multiple links to presenters’ websites.

Please check the Glen Echo Park website (https://glenechopark.org/dances) for updates and additions to the dance schedule.).

The 20-year restoration of the carousel was completed in 2003, and the carousel building was rehabilitated in 201920 by the National Park Service, with additional funding and support from the State of Maryland and Montgomery County. We completed significant repairs to the carousel’s 1926 Wurlitzer band organ in 2011. The carousel recently celebrated its 100th anniversary.

The carousel opens for the 2022 season on April 30, 2022.

Glen Echo Park 301.320.1400 nps.gov/glec For over a century, Glen Echo Park has welcomed residents of the Greater Washington Area. The park’s history of change, though, has led to tension as Chautauqua dreamers, amusement park thrill seekers, and National Park Service preservationists sought to adapt to the needs of current visitors. This affected not only the architectural styles of the buildings, but also the landscape-everything from walkways to parking lots to lighting.

Edward and Edwin Baltzley, in 1891, hoped to entertain and educate the District’s urban populace in a National Chautauqua while preserving the site’s rugged natural beauty. The amusement park owners thrilled visitors with exciting rides. Finally, the National Park Service (NPS) and the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture have collaborated to provide the public with appealing artist studios and arts spaces while preserving the Park’s diverse history.

NPS works closely with the Partnership to preserve the cultural resources at Glen Echo Park. Over the years, this has involved determining whether to preserve, rehabilitate, restore, or reconstruct historic structures. After 130 years, all that remains from the Baltzleys’ Chautauqua of 1891 is a solitary stone tower which is now the restored stone tower, home to the Stone Tower Gallery and artists’ studio. But their idea of a premier green space where visitors could refresh and restore themselves has thrived as a vibrant cultural community to this day.
